The Philippine-American War Helped Stifle American Imperialism-While counter-intuitive


at first, the Philippine-American War which ended in American victory really did dissuade the
Americans from expanding further across Asia.

The general bloodiness of the war (the US suffered fewer casualties when it fought against Spain)
and the economic costs had left the Americans exhausted. Imperialist designs effectively waned after
the war, with even its most ardent of supporters admitting the US was not cut out for colony-building.

2. The Philippine Revolution Influenced Nationalist Movements Of Other Asian Countries-


As the first truly national fight for freedom against a foreign power, the Philippine Revolution
did much to influence the nationalist movements of other Asian countries especially those of
China, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Chinese nationalist leader Sun Yat-sen saw the significance of the Filipino struggle and sought
to support the revolutionaries with weapons when he was still exiled in Japan and became
acquainted with Mariano Ponce.
3. The EDSA Revolution Paved The Way For Other Nonviolent Revolutions-Aside from
ousting the Marcos dictatorship, one great impact of the first EDSA Revolution was the
impression it left on other countries reeling under authoritarian rule at the time. More explicitly,
the general peacefulness which accompanied the ouster of an unpopular regime shocked the rest
of the world accustomed to associating regime changes with violent revolutions. In the end, the
successful non-violent “Yellow Revolution” sparked off other incidents of peaceful (and not-so-
peaceful) revolutions across the world.

4. The Moro Rebellion Led To The Development Of The .45 ACP Handgun-Contrary to
popular belief, the Colt M1911 .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol was not used during the Moro
Rebellion—it was merely developed afterwards.

Nonetheless, for the US military to develop a sidearm which would later become standard issue
stands as a testament to the fighting prowess of the Moro. Specifically, US servicemen fighting in
the Moro Rebellion were shocked that their .38 revolvers and even Krag rifles could not stop a
rampaging juramentado dead in his tracks, allowing the latter to charge in and swing away at
the hapless Americans with his knife.
5. Typhoon Olga (Ising)- On July 26, a disturbance began to develop at the eastern end of a
well-defined monsoon trough well to the east of the Philippines. The convection within the
disturbance increased as it moved to the north and Tropical Depression 11W formed on July 29.
The system continued to intensify, becoming Typhoon Olga two days later as it
approached Okinawa. On August 1 Olga made landfall on the Japanese island as a typhoon,
weakening slightly as it passed over the island. As it moved to the north-northwest it intensified
to its peak with 150 km/h (90 mph) winds as it approached Korea. The storm was beginning to
weaken as it passed to the west of Cheju Island on August 3 and it made a second brief landfall
on the T'aean Peninsula before moving north in the Yellow Sea. The storm made its final landfall
in North Korea as a strong tropical storm later that day with 100 km/h (65 mph) winds and
became extratropical soon after.[28] Both the JMA and PAGASA considered Olga a typhoon, with
PAGASA naming the storm Ising before the JTWC issued its first warning on the developing
system.

6. The Death of Rizal-The death of Jose Rizal came right after a kangaroo trial convicted him
on all three charges of rebellion, sedition and conspiracy. He was guided to his cell in Fort
Santiago where he spent his last 24 hours right after the conviction. At 6:00 AM of December 29,
1896, Captain Rafael Dominguez read Jose Rizal’s death sentence and declared that he will be
shot at 7:00 AM of the next day in Bagumbayan.
7. Ferdinand Marcos was elected- He was elected as the 6th President of the Philippines.
